Trump claims Democrats "stealing" election amid narrowing margins in key battleground states
- 3 years ago
트럼프 “합법적 투표만 계산하면 내가 쉽게 이겨”
The 2020 U.S. Presidential election still hasn't been called as votes are still being counted in several key states.
Both candidates addressed the country, delivering very different remarks regarding the election.
Our Lee Kyung-eun has been following the latest.
Kyung-eun, give us the details.
Mark, just a few hours ago,... President Trump made his first public appearance since election night.
He's been active on Twitter, making allegations about election fraud,... and attacking the integrity of the voting process.
But, this is the first time he has come out on camera.
He once again claimed that Democrats are trying to "steal" the election,.. while questioning the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.
He said that if what he called "legal votes" are counted, he would win.
He also went on to repeat his previous remarks,... saying the numbers "miraculously whittled down" as mail-in ballots began being counted.
There has been no evidence yet to support any of these allegations.
Trump's remarks are also a clear departure from Biden's remarks earlier in the day in which he talked about COVID-19, the economy,.. and insisted that every single vote should be counted.
Now, let's get a check on the latest tallies.
Where does the race stand now?
Mark, both candidates are still short of the 270 electoral votes needed to claim victory.
We are waiting for those key states Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania to finish counting the ballots.
But these states are extremely close, and the margins are shrinking even further.
As of 11:30 AM Korea time,... Biden is ahead of Trump in Arizona by a little over 1 point.
Trump is leading in North Carolina and Pennsylvania,... also by slightly over or less than 1 point in each state.
But it is neck-in-neck in Georgia the traditional Republican stronghold.
In terms of electoral votes, Biden has 2-hundred-53,... leading Trump by 40.
Based on this dynamic, Biden has a better chance of winning the race.
If Biden holds on in Arizona and wins Nevada,... he doesn't need to win any of the other remaining states to make 2-hundred-70.
Back to you, Mark.
